I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RICE Communications
Interview
3 rounds:
1. Call with HR (a simple 'get-to-know-you', set expectations and address any questions]
2. Writing Test [believe it was 2 hours -- standard PR writing test where you're asked to draft a press release/byline outline etc]
3. In-person meeting/interview [met with manager and director, ask about your experience/resume, why you wanna join, what part of pr are you interested in etc.]
everyone is super friendly and helpful, really eased a lot of my stress and nervousness.
I interviewed at RICE Communications (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Effective, but only posting this to see other companies. I don't like that Glassdoor will not give me access without writing something. I honestly have no idea if this company is a good place to work.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RICE Communications (Hong Kong) in Nov 2024
Interview
Job interview was for the Hong Kong office. First round is a video call with HR. Then, there is a written test with a Chinese section and English section. Second interview round is in-person with an account director.
HR said they'd update me whether I got through or not. I would have rated RICE to have a great interview experience. But they never got back to me, even after following multiple times over WhatsApp (well they did initially but later did not), and for solely this reason I'm rating the experience neutral.
